The artists in You’re Breaking Up chose to tackle the theme of destruction in a multitude of ways through a focus on war, the breaking of trust, the separation of families, damage to the environment, the death of beauty, heartbreak, accidental destruction, erasure of the past, and breaks in time between youth and old age.

You’re Breaking Up

Opening reception: Saturday, February 8th, 4:00 pm

The artists in this exhibition recognize destruction as a sometimes necessary part of arriving at a new place, the merging of cultures, a rising from ashes to generate new growth. This doesn’t make destruction okay, but it does make it worth examining.

Participating artists are Onaje Benjamin, Jess Blaustein, Alaiyo Bradshaw, Lucille Colin, Maxine Davidowitz, Maureen Gates, Dan Goldman, Ed Grant, James Hannaham, Roxie Johnson, Chong Kang, Tracy Leavitt, Dorothea Marcus, Jim Nickel, Yukie Ohta, David Ort, Suzanne Parker, Susan Phillips, Eileen Power, Regina Quinn, Betsey Regan, John Scribner, Amy Silberkleit and Mimi Young.

You’re Breaking Up is juried by Elizabeth Keithline and is presented as a diverse conceptual companion to Breaking Broken.
